Ah, the successful Cincinnati franchise

The Cincinnati Cyclones are still in the playoffs!!  AND, I found this little doozy, which makes me happy…enjoy!!

Chad Johnson wants out of Cincinnati and out of his number 85 jersey.

Now WGRR is giving Cincinnati Bengals fans a chance to express their opinion about Johnson and his comments about playing for the Bengals.

It’s called the 103.5 WGRR “85 Trade Off.”

On Tuesday, April 29, Cincinnati Bengals supporters can bring their Chad Johnson jersey to Koch’s Sporting Goods on Fourth Street from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and WGRR will swap them for a pair of playoff tickets to see the winning Cincinnati Cyclones hockey team.

Traded-in number 85 jerseys will go to charity and fans who donate their jerseys will be in the running to win a jersey of their choice from Koch’s Sporting Goods.

GO CYCLONES!! 

 

My day!!

Do you see this?! Okay, let me tell you about my day at work, for those of you that don’t know, I work for a catering company. It started off normal, I went to work and ended up taking an order to Good Sam. No big deal, I have been there a TON, granted I had never (so I thought) been to the room I was going to. When I get to Good Sam, the main lobby was closed. I called my boss and she told me to go in through the Medical Office Building, which I did. I then took the elevator to the 8th floor where I thought my order was, I asked the woman sitting at the desk where to take it. She had no idea, but, she called around and finally figured it out. Then, she said someone was coming to get me. Sounds great right? No, you are wrong. No one ever showed up. I was frantically calling my boss and the pharm rep, trying to figure out where to go. I spoke with the pharm rep and she wanted to meet me in the 6th floor. Erm, the problem there is that you can’t get into the main lobby and to the elevators I needed to get to, so we met on the seventh floor, took the other set of elevators down to the sixth floor, and then, we took it over to the area we were supposed to be, THEN we went up two flights of stairs (carrying all the food) and I set it up. By this time I had been waiting 45 minutes, trying to find where I was supposed to be. WELL, after I had set it up, I went down and looked for my keys, oh no, I left them, so back up the steps to get my keys (thus making an idiot out of myself). I begin to walk around the hospital, wondering how to get out, I call Becky, and tell her my story. I wandered around the hospital for another HALF HOUR, until I found a way out. It wasn’t even the right entrance (I guess exit) but I saw the sun after almost an hour and a half of being stuck in the hospital. That was my day, and it feels good to complain. Not going to lie.

HELP!!

Hey, so we need help deciding what my mom should be called now that she is a grandma so I am putting it on here. WHATEVER you people decide my mom will go with it. Remember, you are choosing what MY children will be calling her. Choose wisely.

UPDATE!! I have an ultrasound pic!!

Last day of the regular season!!

Today was the last day of the regular season for the National Hockey League.  There is one game remaining between the Anaheim Ducks and the Phoenix Coyotes.  The playoffs are right around the corner.  Let me just tell you, there is nothing better then the NHL playoffs.  Here are the matchups and my picks are in italics:

Eastern Conference

Montreal Canadiens vs Boston Bruins

Pittsburgh Penguins vs Ottawa Senators

Washington Capitals vs Philadelphia Flyers

New Jersey Devils vs New York Rangers

Western Conference

Detroit Red Wings vs Nashville Predators

San Jose Sharks vs Calgary Flames*

Minnesota Wild vs Colorado Avalanche 

Anaheim Ducks vs Dallas Stars

*You’ll notice that I didn’t make a pick, it’s too hard.  San Jose is on fire and I genuinely like the Sharks, however I love love Dion Phaneuf  and Jarome Iginla.  I want them to win.  I also have a soft spot in my heart for the Sharks because they acquired Jody Shelley earlier this season.  Jody Shelley was the tough guy on the Jackets and I adore him.  I don’t know who to choose, regardless it will be a great post season and I can’t wait to see who raises the Cup this year.

My beloved Columbus Blue Jackets did not make it to the post season, next season promises to be much better for the Jackets, MUCH better.  It was a season full of up and downs and really took a toll on me emotionally, with the trading of my favorite player, Adam Foote, and one of the best players of all time Sergei Fedorov, then with Rick Nash becoming the Captain, and Aaron Rome being called up and proving his worth.  I am too emotionally involved with my team, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. :)

 

Update on my Projects..

  1. School, it takes up a ton of time and well is just an overall pain in my rear.  Have I mentioned how much I love being back?!

  5. NHL-Vivor, it is going to be amazing once we get up and running.
  6. Learning about new media/social media it is quickly becoming a big passion of mine…and is starting to consume a bit of my life…not anywhere near what hockey is.
  7. Kelsie, I love that little girl!
  8. Working obviously takes up time, but you know.

Helllooo

So, if anyone cares I am going to put my paper that I wrote for my college writing class on here. It’s about hockey but I am pretty proud of it, so if you do read it, please let me know what you think. Read more »

An Open Letter…

My Dear NaNoWriMo,

You are taking over my life.  When I sleep I think about how I should be catching up with my novel.  When I’m at work, I think I should probably write my novel because work is lame.  When I’m watching hockey, I think about pulling out my laptop and writing, but then I re-think it, and don’t.  I am currently 3302 words behind.  I will be caught up before I go to bed.  I have yet to re-read my novel.  I would like to do that also, but I don’t think it’s going to happen.  Not today anyway.  I work Monday and then I will be working on this NaNo Tuesday as much as I can.  Anyway, back to the hockey game and then back to writing!!

ILYFAA!!

Bethany Porter

Wow…

I’m definitely needing to go through and update this site and get my hockey stuff off of here.  Not that I don’t love hockey…I do…I really do but I want this to be my ‘artistic’ site.  Anyway, I’m staying up to date with my NaNoWriMo today we’re supposed to reach 10,002 words I’m sitting at 10,018 and I am going through and editing tonight well, not editing I am going to be adding things to my novel.  Hoping to reach 11,000 words by tonight…wish me luck!

NaNoWriMo!

I’m doing NaNoWriMo.  It’s the first time I have sat down and actually written a story like this.  I never got into writing until after high school.  With this story, I’m going to be discussing my childhood and my senior year.  It’s difficult at times because the memories do come back and it makes me sad…but I suppose that’s a part of writing!  I’m keeping up on my word count the goal for today is 8335!!  I’m currently sitting at 6868 words!  1467 more to go!!!!!
